Siddha medicine is one of our ancient medical practice followed especially in Southern parts of India. Siddhar medicine is the method given by ancient Siddhargal of Tamilnadu. Siddhargal are divine souls who have written about the diseases and the treatment of the diseases with the widely available herbs found in the southern parts of India. These medicines are prepared naturally from the herbs found in mountains and in all parts of the locality.

The dengue fever which was seen as a non treatable disease by Allopathic medicines, now are considered as a treatable disease by the siddha medicine. The siddha practitioners have found a medicine with only easily available herbs.

The below article published in "The New Indian Express" about the siddha medicine for Dengue Fever.

The Government of Tamil Nadu has been aggressively promoting the use of herbal and Siddha medicines for the control of dengue and other viral fevers.

The government has recommended the extracts of papaya leaves, mountain neem leaves and Andrographis paniculata (Nilavembu in Tamil) for the prevention and treatment of dengue fever. The last one is available along with other herbs as Nilavembu Kudineer Chooranam in almost all Siddha hospitals, dispensaries, Siddha section of primary herbal centres and other hospitals in the state. Siddha vaidyars are also dispensing freshly prepared extracts of all herbals. The programme has caught on well as the government’s approval has helped people believe in the prescribed herbals.

The dosage prescribed by ayurvedic vaidyars for chikungunya, dengue and other viral fevers is one tablet of Sudarshana Chooranam and one tablet of Dhanvantaram, once in four hours, for children between the ages of three and five. For children between six and eight, it is one-and-a-half tablets each; for children between nine and twelve, it is two tablets each, once in four hours. For adults, the dosage is as much as four tablets of Sudarshana and three tablets of Dhanvantaram, once in four hours. The tablets are to be taken three to four times a day, usually in empty stomach. Ayurvedic vaidyars caution that even though Sudarshana Chooranam and Dhanvantaram tablets are extremely effective, one should consult a vaidyar if the fever persists, especially in the children. Sudarshana Chooranam tablets are extremely effective because of the synergistic effect of the 50 herbals they contain.
